5 The terms are severe, but they are more favorable to Bulâ€" ghria than was to be expected. Bulgaria is to surrender the spoils taken during the war, and it is to pay an indemnity of $445,000,â€" ~000, but on the other hand is released from her war debt to Gerâ€" many which was considered larger than that Germany resigned this claim to the Allies, but whether they will deâ€" *mand payment by Bulgaria is doubtful. In addition Bulgaria surâ€" renders the parts of Western Thrace, which she had held after the Balkan wars, to Greece, but is promised an economic outlet to the Aegean sea. All stolen property is to be rest@red, and Bulâ€" garia is required to disband her army, except 20,000 men, with a police force of 10,000. All arms and ammunition, exceeding the amounts laid down by the treaty, must be delivered to the Allies. A commission has power to punish crimes committed by the Bulâ€" garians during the war, and also to deal with the repatriation of prisoners. sls 8P oo l is malie Oe s wed fo y S The : dmfl:fi_wflhfl:fluhfifloh ] nin q.aommunmmtamu'mnp‘; \ ;#We have waited twelve hundred years for this day," said vzg'* the Greek delegation on entering the Hall of Cereâ€" Â¥hinties in the Mayor‘s office at Neuilly, which is not to be comâ€" ' tith the Chateau of Versailles, ‘or the hostelry» Of St;i 4 iin, where the German and Austrian treaties were signed. Premier Stambulivisky, the same statesman who warned Ferdiâ€" pand when he went into the war that it was likely to cost him his head, and who spent some time in jail in consequence, was the ‘Bole representative of his country. Serbia and Roumania did not sign, not because the Allies would not permit them, a penalty which was imposed by the Peace Conference because they reâ€" fused to sign the treaty with Austria, with its guarantee for racial minorities. ‘ Bulgaria also loses Macedonia, the price for which she entered the war, together with the Dobrudja. Not one single advantage does she gain from her treacherous entry into the war, and her dastardly attack on Serbia, when the latter was set upon by the Germans. Greece, Serbia and Roumania are all strengthened, while it will require perhaps half a century for Bulgaria to disâ€" charge the war indemnity, which she is not strong enough to reâ€" pudiate. It is likely that Bulgaria will have a wholesome dread in the future for rulers who wish to plunge her into war. In order to make smooth the path of prohibition in the. United States, it is very generally recognized that a substitute for the saloon must be provided. At the recent Episcopalian gathering a lead was given in this regard, and at the still more recent International Convention of the Young Men‘s Christian Association, both held in Detroit, a further fillip was given to the movement. It is significant, too, that while Episcopal clergyâ€" men were prominent at the church meeting, advocacy of the: measure came from large employers of labor whose spokesmen were Homer L. Ferguson, president of the Newport News Shipâ€" building Company, and J. E. Mott, viceâ€"president of the General Motors Corporation. Mr. Ferguson declared that the saloon was a place of cheerfulness, where men were warmly received and that "its passing imposes upon us the obligation to offer the men something far more worthy in its stead." Mr. Mott pointed out that, while the saloon had gone, equally iniquitous places remain, and that "it is for us to provide competition which will win out over such joints." This recognition of the need on the part of men who are not sentimentalists should give an impetus to the ~plans for some form of substitute, while Mr. Mott‘s suggestion of competition shows that the substitute must first of all be made attractive, not, of course, by strong drink, but by human fellowâ€" ship and the sense of freedom and independence which the saloon offered. Meanwhile, the practical work of supplying the substitute in the United States, it is said, lags sadly. Its provision does not require a wide organization or large capiial and it is hard to see what the prompters are waiting for. Three or four churches in any neighborhood, it is suggested, might join to take over some saloon about to close, hire an exâ€"bartender who knew its old customers, put in hot coffee, sandwiches and soft drinks; proâ€" vide newspapers, checker boards and card tables and invite the men turned out from the old places to find a new informal club. Some such experiments would succeed and some would fail, deâ€" pending on the personality of the attendants in charge and on whether the men got the idea that they were being patronized or not. But there would be enough successes to serve as models for a general movement. Now precious time is being lost. «/ _ MAY BE MADE IN hr s TRAIN SERVICE Now is the time to do your hoppin put it off until the last week. \ A" plish.~ The majority of the members ;i“tvil;(â€");tario Cabinet are under 45 years of age. f The appointment of Nelson Parliament Ontario Legislature will recuce Hartley De one.
